Montana winter olympics












When I was little my parents use to have sledding parties with friends and family. It is a memory that I cherish and hope to carry on the tradition with my children. We have had a lot of snow in Montana lately and Les has been promising the kids to take them sledding. Unfortunately the weather has been really cold, but a few weeks ago it perked up to the 30's and 40's. So, we gave the kids a choice....going to the movies to watch Chipmunks the Squeakel, or sledding. Ah...my children are too much like me. Les was voting for the movie...I was hoping for sledding. Well, the kids had a ball. Racing down the hill, making sure they hit all the jumps, begging to be pushed faster, and preferring to go by themselves. We were out for 3 or 4 hours, and though the kids were wet and cold, they cried when we announced sledding was over. We promised to go again...and the kids have been begging every weekend since.
